Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 927

Taught A Lesson

Victor, too, did not expect Sophie to know the CEO of Maxwell Corporation. He was pleased when he recalled how Terence used to bully him and treat him with derision.

True enough, Sophie had always been unrivaled, and the way she handled things never disappointed him.

“Don’t think everything will be fine just because you’ve made a phone call. Just you wait and see. I will make you suffer a fate that’s far worse than death.”

There’s no way Sophie knows Mr. Marwell. She would’ve mentioned it in the very beginning if she knows him. I’m sure she’s just trying to scare me.

“Is that so? Mark my words. You’ll soon lose your job.”

“Ms. Sophie, what should we do with him?” asked Victor.

“That’s none of our concern. Someone else will deal with him. Let’s go somewhere else for dinner. It’s my treat. Just let me know if you encounter more jerks like him that obstruct the development of the company in the future. I will deal with it.”

Sophie was determined to get rid of anyone who got in the way of Tanner Group.

“Sure, Ms. Sophie!”

Victor admired Sophie an awful lot. This young lady is indeed extremely powerful and capable. I wouldn’t have pledged loyalty to her if she wasn’t capable. After all, I’m still quite an ambitious person.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the restaurant, Connor, the CEO of Maxwell Corporation showed up.

When he saw that Sophie was leaving, he immediately came over and said apologetically, “Ms. Tanner, I’m so sorry. I have been very busy for the past few days and had no idea that my subordinates are so useless. Please rest assured that I will give you an explanation for this. Please reconsider collaborating with us.”

“I despise Mr. Hein. Find someone else to replace him if you still wish to work with Tanner Group.”

“Sure, I will do that.”

Without saying another word, Sophie left with Victor.

“Where is he?” Connor asked his secretary once Sophie left.

“Mr. Hein is in there!”

Connor stepped into the restaurant immediately.

Terence had just gotten back on his feet with help from his assistant. His wrist wouldn’t stop shaking.

“Mr. Hein, do you think it’s true that Sophie knows Mr. Maxwell?” asked the assistant. Ms. Tanner didn’t seem like she was trying to scare us.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. Have you forgotten that Connor is my brother-in-law? He won’t do anything to me even if she really knows him.”

Connor walked in just as he finished speaking.

“Connor, I think Tanner Group’s not worth collaborating with at all. There are so many companies dying to work with Maxwell Corporation, so let’s find someone else!”

He had barely finished talking when Connor gave him a tight slap on his face.

“Listen carefully, Terence Hein. Quit your job if you can’t work for me and stop causing trouble. Do you know how important this collaboration is to me?”

Terence was bewildered, for he did not expect to be slapped.

“Connor, I’m just stating the facts. You have no idea how arrogant the CEO of Tanner Group is. Take a look at my hand. She’s gone overboard and is practically disrespecting you!”

Livid, Connor gave Terence a kick in his stomach when he saw that the latter still had no idea what he had

done wrong.

“You useless piece of cr*p! You can forget about working for me. I will find someone to replace you.”

“Connor, how can you do that to me? You promised my sister to take good care of me.”

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear another word from you. I will stitch your mouth shut if you dare make another sound.”

Connor then turned to Terence’s assistant and said, “As for you, you are fired too. Don’t bother coming to work tomorrow.”

Terence’s assistant panicked at that instant.
